Hi, Tasha! I’d love to get your take on tea and cats (not necessarily combined, though if you have stories, I want to know!). What are your favorite teas, and how do you prepare them? Do you think tea preferences are more a matter of nature or nurture? As a cat parent, can you tell us whether cats are forming a secret cabal to take over the world? And of course, how are you finding the journey to publication?

Tasha Suri Hi Sarah! Fancy seeing you here.

My favourite day-to-day tea is - boringly - a basic black, English Breakfast tea with semi-skimmed milk. I just really love it though. I also really love proper masala chai, full of ginger, spices and tons of sugar. If it isn't sweet enough to hurt my teeth, I don't think it's right. Tea preference is definitely nurture in my case. I drink what my family drink.

Cats are not forming a secret cabal to take over the world, because they're too busy trying to kill each other to properly subjugate humanity. Thank goodness, right?

The journey to publication has been a totally new experience for me, so it's been exciting but also stressful. The oddest thing is how my normal life has continued - I somehow thought getting a book deal would make it different, somehow, maybe more glamorous? But not really. All stress and excitement aside, I've been particularly lucky to be supported by a great team, including an excellent editor. ;) (less)

First, Congratulations! Now, my question: Holding the finished book in your hands, cover, binding, new paper smell, is it as you imagined? To what extent does the book match what was in your mind before the first draft?

Tasha Suri Thanks Tade, and happy publication day! I'm looking forward to seeing ROSEWATER in my local bookshop. *throws confetti*

I don't have the finished book …moreThanks Tade, and happy publication day! I'm looking forward to seeing ROSEWATER in my local bookshop. *throws confetti*

I don't have the finished book yet, but holding the ARCs was a weirdly overwhelming experience. That feeling of 'IT'S A REAL BOOK' is very trippy.

The inside pages are far more beautiful than I'd imagined they would be, and the cover is gorgeous. It isn't anything like I imagined it would be, largely because I didn't have any idea what to expect, or what I wanted. I'm not a very arty person, so I just didn't have a vision at all. In terms of the *content* of the book, it's a lot darker and creepier than I'd though it would be, when I started drafting it. But I'm pleased with that, to be honest. (less)

Quotes by Tasha Suri (?)

“This was what she had needed. Not forgiveness, not a balm for this strange writhing fury inside her, but the promise of someone to care for--to love--that she could not harm. Even if she had to. Even if she tried.”
― Tasha Suri, The Jasmine Throne

“Malini wanted to explain that being monstrous wasn't inherent, as Priya seemed to believe it to be. It was something placed upon you: a chain or a poison, bled into you by unkind hands.”
― Tasha Suri, The Jasmine Throne

“Power doesn’t have to be the way the regent and your rebels make it be,” Priya said eventually, making do with her own artless words, her own simple knowledge of the way the world worked. “Power can be looking after people. Keeping them safe, instead of putting them into danger.”
― Tasha Suri, The Jasmine Throne

“You will always go into that tent. You will see her scar and wonder where she got it. You will always be amazed at how one woman can have so much black hair. You will always fall in love, and it will always be like having your throat cut, just that fast. You will always run away with her. You will always lose her. You will always be a fool. You will always be dead, in a city of ice, snow falling into your ear. You have already done all of this and will do it again.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, Deathless
